All you gotta do is turn the notifications on and leave the rest to us ,it's just that simple
We've come to far but with your support,this is us... History will judge us ๐

This is very interesting because the school doesn't own a pitch so we share this grazing land with the owner ๐ค

We'll be heading 78km North of Kampala tomorrow for yet another training, we'll also meet with the authorities responsible to see how these children go back to school. We're still figuring out how we can set up a gofundme page for this cause. Children deserve to be in school.
Hey there,
Anyone who will be traveling to Uganda soon or incase you know someone who will be and is willing to carry along a few gear for the Uganda Gaa is highly appreciated.
Kindly DM.
